Dear Lucas,
Nearly three million workers and students need our help.
Our community worked incredibly hard to ensure that women were protected under health care reform, and that meant making sure birth control was covered by the insurance companies. Some employers, like churches, were allowed to opt-out of this requirement for religious reasons.
But now some want to expand the opt-out rule to include a huge number of so-called "religious employers" that could result in nearly three million workers and students losing access to birth control.
Let's be clear: just because your employer's health insurance covers birth control doesn't mean you have to use it, any more than you have to get a root canal every year just because it's covered by your dental insurance. This is about women having free and fair choices.
Do you think that the government should allow so-called "religious employers" to deny women access to birth control? Make your voice heard and vote in our poll today!
We're fighting for an adjunct professor at a university who will have to pay out-of-pocket for her birth control while the same insurance plan covers Viagra for the man in the office next to hers.
We're fighting for the woman working a minimum-wage job cleaning a hospital who can't pay for birth control and school supplies and after-school snacks for her kids.
We're fighting to ensure our government doesn't allow employers to impose their religious beliefs on the women who work for them, creating a system that turns women into second-class citizens.
Our community here at EMILY's List was so proud when together we worked, advocated, and voted for health care reform that would level the economic playing field for families and keep them healthier.
Our pro-choice Democratic women are working hard to keep family planning accessible for all women.
To help them today, we've got to lift our voices now, before this decision is made and women are hurt.
Take our poll and tell us what role you think government should play in women's access to birth control.
Thank you for joining us in this important fight.
Take care, 
Stephanie Schriock
